Do You Think Ron Paul Was Ashamed Of The Protesters? ?

Question

Did you notice some of the violent protesters that were bashing windows setting fires and starting fights had Ron Paul signs? I would think Ron Paul would be alittle embarrassed by that don't you think?

Answer 1

Ron Paul has no reason to be embarrassed.  Those protesters, who acted violently and destroyed private property should be tried and punished.

They were obviously misguided Ron Paul protesters, since Paul is an advocate of personal property.

How can anyone who supports Ron Paul violate someone's right to personal property and not be expected to be hold accountable?

EDIT TO BOOMER:  These people where not anarchist, but terrorists.  If they were true anarchists, then why didn't they take out their frustrations at the  DNC?  Since when did the democrats ever advocate for a minimal government?

Not all anarchists are violent, many are pacifists and abide by the NAP. These people were simply confused.

Answer 2

Probably a little

Answer 3

I am a Ron Paul supporter and I am my self ashamed of these kind of actions.  They do nothing but flame up the opposition.  So i definately think he is too.

Answer 4

Ron Paul is not an anarchist.

Libertarians are not anarchists.

Anarchists are people who have been historically used by Socialists to destroy order, thus paving the way for Totalitarians to move in for the kill.

Ron Paul is not into that sort of thing, because individual liberty cannot exist in either an anarchist or a totalitarianist state.

Answer 5

China has those fake protesters, too.  They break things and push other people and protesters around.  Then the media only covers them so those shill protesters look like their representing the majority of peaceful ones.  It's to get the public to not sympathize with protesters who get arrested, detained, and beaten for no reason but practicing free speech.

No Ron Paul was not ashamed because they didn't represent his movement or any other protest movement.

Answer 6

Yes im sure he was

And btw, every candidate has some loonies on their side....

Answer 7

Ron Paul doesn't condone what they do.

Answer 8

Doesn't Ron Paul have dreams of abolishing or, at least, severely crippling the FBI and CIA?  He might be a little embarrassed, but he's an old time Libertarian, and only ran on the Repub ticket to try and actually make it as a candidate.  Those Libers like to shake things up.

Answer 9

I support Ron Paul and think he got screwed, and labeled a wack job because he would not conform to the Neocon agenda. Too many people were closed minded and followed the kool-aide mantra of the big neocon heavy weights. I had my head out of my rear, unlike the majority in my party and heard his message loud and clear, but to no avail.

So now I have no choice except to back my second choice, which happens to be McCain. He also got screwed by the party in the past as you all should know by now. He conformed and guess where he is now? I hope he returns to his maverick past and teaches all neocons a good lesson, when he becomes our next President. And incidently I am not too wild about his VP choice. I`m hoping she doesn`t become his downfall.

I`ve contained myself enough to be civil enough to not join my fellow Ron Paul supporters, because yes I do agree it does more harm than good. Your question bares that out!

No, we are not dope feens and wack jobs. Just don`t like to get screwed over along with our candidate of choice!
